Trent AI Provides Agentic Security Assessments for OpenClaw Agents
Over the past months, it’s been so much fun to build more and more with AI, especially agentic systems, and it has clearly changed how quickly you can ship and experiment. Now, as agents become more capable and embedded in real workflows, a new class of risks is emerging just as fast. Agents have arrived, and agent security is no longer a niche concern but a foundational problem. At the same time, I strongly believe that the solutions to many of these challenges should be built in the open. That’s why I’m excited that this launch is not just a product update, but also a contribution back to the open-source community. A small one, but we keep growing together.
Trent Security Assessment Skill for OpenClaw
We’re excited to announce the availability of a new security assessment skill for OpenClaw, the widely adopted open-source runtime for autonomous AI agents. OpenClaw users now gain full observability into the security posture of their agentic environment by running security assessments directly within OpenClaw, without switching tools or having to connect to external dashboards.
OpenClaw’s configuration surface may contain risks most users never see: secrets in plaintext, overly permissive access policies, unsafe gateway exposure, and tool permissions that give agents far more power than intended. Trent’s security assessment identifies the specific threats in your environment, maps each threat to the part of your setup that is affected, and delivers prioritized mitigation tasks so you know exactly what to fix and in what order.
For example, Trent’s security assessment agent might tell you that your Workspace directory is group-writeable on a multi-user system and that this may lead to malicious skill injection. Or that one of your installed skills doesn’t have the right permissions enabled.
Try it for yourself.
Get started today with just a few steps. Get Your API Key, install the skill on your OpenClaw host, and see what’s hiding in your setup. Takes under 5 minutes.
Once that’s done, start a new agent session and ask:
“Audit my OpenClaw setup for security risks using trent.”
The audit checks gateway security, tool permissions, MCP servers, plugins, channel policies, file permissions, and chained attack paths. Findings are grouped by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low) with recommended fixes you can apply directly in your OpenClaw host.
